The aggressive style of seven-time Winston Cup champion has mesmerized a generation of fans and assured him a place in the premier rank of the sport's greatest drivers.

He's a NASCAR legend and a child of the South who has rewritten the record books with is daring style on the track and his folksy style off it. A third-generation race car driver, his love of family, the outdoors and his Carolina roots have stirred the imagination of millions of fans and made him a role model for many.
